INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS

2. Brief History:
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations
of the mind which are original in nature and
have not been duplicated from any one or
anywhere. Some of the examples of intellectual
property can be for example inventions,
literary and artistic works, symbols, names,
images, and designs used in commerce. The term
intellectual property has been used since
centuries. In one of the court cases in 1845
Justice Charles L. Woodbury wrote that “only in
this way can we protect intellectual property,
the labors of the mind, productions and
interests are as much a man’s own.

5. TYPES OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS
Intellectual property refers to the right
over the intellectual work and not the work
itself. Intellectual property rights can be
categorized into various types as per the
nature of work. The most common types of
intellectual property are copyrights,
trademarks, patents, industrial design
rights and trade secrets which can be
explained as follows:

6. • Copyright
It is a right that is provided to the owner of a
literary or artistic work. It is an exclusive
right to control the publication, distribution,
and adaptation of creative works. Copyright laws
deal with intellectual property of creative works
like articles, books, music, software, painting,
etc.

7. • Trademarks
Companies, political parties, governmental bodies and several
running institutions can be identified or recognized on basis
of certain symbols assigned by them. These symbols are
nothing but the trademark, which is generally used to
identify a particular product, which indicates its source. A
trademark can be a combination of words, phrases, symbols,
logos, designs, images, or devices used by an individual,
legal entity or business organization to distinguish their
products from that of others. For example, one can identify
the products of Rebook/LG/Whirlpool/Godrej through their
logo, which is embossed on their products. Another example
can be the logo of NGOs like WHO, UNICEF, and so on which
differentiates these institutions with each other. The
organizations get their trademarks registered and theses
trademarks are protected legally. If these trademarks are
ever misused, then the owners can claim legal actions against

8. Examples of Trademark:

9. • Patents
Patents are rights related to new discoveries. Patents
are used to protect new product, process, apparatus.
The right to patents says that the invention is not
obvious in light of what has been done before or has
not been duplicated and has not been disclosed anywhere
in the world at the time of the application. But of
course, the patent can only be given to those
inventions which have practical purpose. This right is
conferred on persons who invent any new machines,
process, article of manufacture or composition of
matter, biological discoveries, etc. There are certain
set criteria of patent which may differ from country to
country and ones’ invention should meet the set
criteria in order to get their rights protected. In
general, the invention must be new, inventive and
should be useful or can be applied in industries.

10. • Industrial design
rights
These rights also come under intellectual
property and protect the visual design of
objects. These rights are assigned to the
products distinguished by their novel shape or
patter. The design may be in form of a shape,
color, pattern, or a combination of all these
things. It can be industrial commodity or a
handicraft. The design can be either two-
dimensional (based on patter, colors, and
lines) or three-dimensional (as per shape and
surface).

11. • Trade Secrets
Trade secrets are the rights assigned to the
designs, practice, formulas, instrument, processes,
recipes, patterns or ideas being used or owned by a
company to gain economic advantage over its
competitors. The owner of a trade secret does not
possess any right over anyone who gains access to
that secret independently, but he can prevent the
use of trade secret but anyone who has learned it
through the owner. For example, an employer can
protect trade secrets through contracts with his
employees. It differs from the other types of
intellectual property because it is the
responsibility of the owner to keep the secret and
it is not protected through government policies.
Once the trade sercret is disclosed, it can be
applied as well as exploited by any other person.
